When a [[Flood stalker form|stalker form]] is cornered or confronted with well-armed opponents, it will often undergo a rapid transformation into a tank form to better defend itself. Most of the stalker's body mass shifts to the frontal body section, forming a muscular torso. The rear limbs are augmented with muscle to serve as legs, while the forelimbs become bulkier and rapidly extrude bone structures to form blade or club-like appendages. In this state, the tank form is more resistant to conventional weaponry and possesses more devastating melee capabilities, but moves at a far slower pace. | When a [[Flood stalker form|stalker form]] is cornered or confronted with well-armed opponents, it will often undergo a rapid transformation into a tank form to better defend itself.

tank forms are quite slow in comparison to [[Flood combat form|combat forms]], but they make up for it with relative resilience and devastating melee attacks. They can run on all fours for a short period, allowing a short burst of speed to overtake a target. Tank Forms can spew a torrent of Infection Forms from their 'mouth' as a form of short ranged attack, or in order to infect nearby corpses. | |||
